Rules

Entries

The entry fee for submitting a photo in the 2025 Dogs of Hillsboro Calendar Photo Contest is $10. All photos must be submitted online.

One pet per photo entry. People are not allowed in photos, only your pet.

Your pet does not have to be adopted from a rescue to be eligible to enter this contest.

All photos must be uploaded; we cannot accept printed photos. We cannot accept any copyrighted or professional photos.

To submit a photo online, click on the Participate tab (above) and follow the directions to upload a photograph of your pet. Photos should be submitted in JPEG format. Multiple photos can be submitted, but only one photo can be submitted at a time.

The Submissions Period starts at 12:00:00 AM (Pacific Time) on Tuesday, June 25, 2024 and ends at 8:00:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Monday, August 26, 2024.

The $5 entry fee to submit a photo is not considered by IRS to be tax deductible.

Any photograph that includes content that is deemed inappropriate, indecent, or obscene, as determined by Wag to my Heart Studio in their sole discretion, will be removed from the contest with no opportunity for a refund.

Posting more than one photo of your pet does not increase the chances of winning. The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 12 entries that receive the most votes. The same pet can only win once. Attempts to win two spots in the calendar by the same pet will not be permitted.


Voting
Each $1 donation counts as one (1) vote with a 5 vote minimum.

All donations from voting are non-refundable. Entries and donations must be made via the online contest page. Contest payments online are through a secure site.

The recipient of the most votes in each category will be eligible to have their pet featured in the 2025 Dogs of Hillsboro, Wag to my Heart 2025 Calendar.

All winners will be determined by electronic vote tabulations under the supervision of GoGo Photo Contest, whose decisions are final and binding.

The Voting Period starts at 12:00:00 AM (Pacific Time) on Tuesday, June 25, 2024.

The online voting period will end 8:00:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Monday, August 26, 2024. A clock will be displayed on the contest web page during the final day of the contest. Winners will be determined based on the number of votes appearing on the website at the close of voting. Note: there may be a gap of 15 minutes from when a vote is cast to when it appears online. Voters are urged to cast their votes at least 15 minutes before the contest ends. Wag to my Heart is not liable for votes not appearing on the website and cannot refund donations for votes that do not appear after the deadline has passed.


How Voting Works
Once a photo is submitted, it will appear in the online gallery one and be open to voting by the general public. Votes are $1 each, with a minimum $5 for five votes. All votes for photo submissions will be tabulated and displayed online.

Votes can be cast for any submitted photo in one-vote increments. Voters are given the option of applying all the votes to one photo, spreading their votes over various photos, or storing votes in their account for later use. All votes must be applied to selected photos by the conclusion of the voting period to be counted.
